Stone told officers her daughter, Diamond, punched her in the face and she used a metal stand to defend herself. Police say the blow knocked out several of Diamond Stone's front teeth. A family friend broke up the fight.

Diamond Stone told police the argument began after her mother told her to clean up and get her children under control.
